HAPPY NEW YEAR: to all our Members, Supporters and Readers for the coming twelve months.
FESTIVE SEASON ACTIVITY: A special thanks to everyone who organized and participated in the many celebrations that took place over the Christmas period. These included the gathering of a lot of our under 21 players who won our one and only U21 Co. Championship title in 2002. Great to see so many players enjoying the special night.
